The comedian consistently flouts taste and decency in his m
38、ovies, which can sometimes be a good thing. The only problem with this notion is that rebels, at some point, usually break a sweat. Sandlers latest vehicle, “Thats My Boy“, is radical only in its extreme laziness. The actor plays Donny, a man trying to reconcile with his estranged son, Todd (Andy Sa
39、m-berg), whom he fathered with his middle-school teacher as a 13-year-old student. Sandler attempts to mine this disturbing event for comedy, but he also goes after some pretty low-hanging fruit: fat people, the elderly, immigrants, washed-up celebrities, and others. Its technique (to use the word i
40、n the loosest possible sense) is a blunt instrument. It wasnt, though writer David Caspe gives no indication of the level of sparkling wit he is capable of (the crass sitcom “Happy Endings“, which he created). Donnys halting, seemingly improvised on-screen speech about lovein which he describes the
41、emotion in such a way that it sounds like the symptoms of a venereal diseaseis one of many low points in the dialogue. For his part, Sandler seems out to top his performance in last years “Jack and Jill“, which garnered the comic not one but two Razzie Awards (for worst actor and worst actress). Spo
42、rting a mullet wig that looks left over from “The Wedding Singer“ and recycling his trademark accentan annoying hybrid of brain-damaged redneck and dirty old manhe packs enough painful screen presence for three people. Once again, Sandler shows himself to be a loyal friend, casting such pals as Nick
43、 Swardson and Peter Dante in tiny parts that drain all evidence of talent from the performers. “Thats My Boy“ also features such has-beens as rapper Vanilla Ice, singer Tony Orlando, veejay Colin Quinn and actors Ian Ziering, Alan Thicke and Todd Bridges, along with fellow “SNL“, veterans Will Forte
44、 and Rachel Dratch, miscellaneous Sandler family relatives, vaguely familiar-looking former jocks and other assorted hangers-on from the comedians stand-up days. Sandlers Happy Madison production company is like a one-man employment agency for people who have no other reason to be on camera. Of that
45、 bunch, Vanilla Ice, playing a good-natured caricature of himself, turns in the funniest performance, although its far from professional. So is the movie itself funny? Some peopleincluding memanaged to appreciate a dumb joke or two. Sandler has his partisans, but the aggressive awfulness of “Thats M
46、y Boy“ seems calculated to test even their patience. As one disgruntled-sounding viewer muttered on the way out, “Sure, I laughed, but I didnt feel good about myself afterwards.“ From The Washington Post, June 15, 2012 86 What does the word “vehicle“ in the first paragraph mean? （ A） a car （ B） a to
